Definitions

• the invention relates to a tile for covering the ridge of a gable roof, consisting of a material bound by a hardening binder, which has poor formability in the hardened state.
• the ridge tiles should be made of the same material as the tiles used to cover the rest of the roof. If these bricks are made of a material that is bound by a hardening binder and has poor formability in the hardened state, a number of different ridge tiles must be provided which correspond to the slope of the roof.
• the ridge tiles can consist of two flat plates that are connected to each other at the construction site using a connecting bar.
• the object of the invention is to provide a roof tile of the type mentioned, which is manufactured in one piece can be and despite the fact that it consists of a poorly formable material, can be adapted to the respective inclination of the roof when it is attached.
• the ridge tile is provided with a recess over its central region, along which the tile can be bent in order to adapt it to any desired inclination of the roof.
• Reinforcements are embedded in the bricks along the recess that connect the two parts of the brick on each side of the recess and are made of a ductile material that can withstand the deformation that the brick is subjected to during the bending of the recess.
• the reinforcements can e.g. consist of aluminum and in particular have the shape of a stripe made of a stretched material, the center line of which coincides approximately with the recess.
• a flat roof tile made of a ceramic material, cement or the like has. a recess over its central area on the underside of the brick and preferably also a somewhat shallower recess on the top, which is flush with the recess on the underside.
• the recesses allow the tile to be bent along the recess or recesses.
• a reinforcement strip made of an elongated metal, such as aluminum is embedded in the brick material at the recesses, which extends a distance from the recesses into both brick halves on each side of the recesses . The reinforcement strip is deformed when the tile is bent and holds the tile halves at an angle to one another which corresponds to the inclination of the roof ridge.
• the ridge tile 1 is essentially rectangular and has a recess 2 on the underside and a shallower recess 3 on the top side along its central region.
• the brick can have a thickness of 4 to 5 mm or more and can consist of a poorly formable material, such as a fine powdered ceramic material, which is bound by means of a binder.
• a reinforcing strip 4 for example made of expanded metal, is embedded in the body of the brick, the strip extending over the entire length of the recesses 2, 3 and a small distance outwards from the recesses on both sides .
• the strip 4 of expanded metal can be bent relatively easily along the recess, being plastically ver is formed, whereby the two parts of the brick on each side of the recess can be arranged at any angle to one another. This may cause the relatively brittle material in the brick on the top of the expanded metal strip 4 to break somewhat, but which holds the two parts of the brick together and provides sufficient impermeability to the connection between the two parts.
• Sealing between successive ridge tiles can be achieved in different ways.
• the bricks are arranged with abutting edges and the resulting connections are covered by narrower or shorter bricks of the same design as the main bricks.
• Another possibility is to form a flange, a collar or the like at one end, as indicated by reference number 5 in FIGS. 5 and 6.
• This flange is arranged in a plane parallel to the plane of the remaining part of the brick, but offset upwards by a piece corresponding approximately to the thickness of the brick.
• the flange can then be placed on the top of the opposite end of an adjacent tile to cover the connection between two adjacent ridge tiles, with the majority of the ridge tiles just abutting the underlying roof tiles.
• the flange is divided into two parts by a slot 6, which is aligned with the recesses 2, 3 so that the flange does not hinder the bending of the brick along the recesses.
• FIGS. 3 and 4 show elongated, parallel and closely adjacent recesses 8 which are formed on the underside of the brick in the areas 7. Instead of the groove-shaped recesses, rows of recesses can also be provided on the underside.
• These rows can be provided, for example, at an angle of 45 ° to the recesses or grooves 2 and 3, whereby a waffle pattern is obtained on the underside. It is also possible for the entire area 7 to be in the form of a continuous press-in.
• the recesses or grooves form weakened parts which allow nails to be driven through the bricks without having to drill holes, while at the same time the remaining material is sufficient to provide an impervious brick and to prevent unwanted weakening.
• shallower recesses can be provided on the top of the brick.
• the guide recesses on the upper side can have the shape of elongated, V-shaped recesses 9, the bottom 10 of which is above the respective one Grooves 8 is provided on the underside, as shown in the drawing.
• Light minerals, foamed plastics or the like can be in the recesses on the underside. be provided which can be used as part of the mold when the brick is molded and can be removed from the mold together with the brick.
